In a debate of global economic practice, it is apparent that two main arguments develop. While some argue that our global economy is self-correcting and eventually all will balance out, others dispute that while some countries continue to climb the global economic ladder of success other less developed nations continue to sink and suffer from poverty, oppression, and economic failure. I personally believe the latter of the two. Such poverty stricken, economic plunders should be provided with some kind of help from the more advanced, economically stable nations.

True, globalization will take jobs from our homeland abroad, but in the grand scheme of things, I find it economically and ethically right to provide for those with nothing even if it creates a week long headache for people like Joe Smith.
